Sweetly luminous at harvest, Jaune Obtuse Du Doubs unfurls into warm golden carrots with a gently tapered, obtuse tip and a satiny, fine-grained texture.

A classic Nantes-style choice for gardeners who want dependable, uniform roots with a sunny color that practically glows in the bed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I water Jaune Obtuse du Doubs carrots during the main growth phase to get straight roots?

During root bulking (roughly weeks 4–10 after emergence), keep the top 2–3 in (5–8 cm) of soil consistently evenly moist—typically about 1 in (2.5 cm) per week total rainfall plus irrigation, adjusted for your weather. Water deeply and avoid letting the bed dry out completely, because repeated drying and re-wetting can lead to cracking and misshapen roots.

When are Jaune Obtuse du Doubs carrots ready to harvest, and how can I tell?

Harvest at about 75 days, when roots have reached a full, firm size and the shoulders are clearly colored at the soil surface. You can gently pull one to check—ready carrots feel dense and snap/tug with minimal resistance, while undergrown roots are thin and less firm.
